Nature Conservation

The Challenge

Today’s alarming pace of ecosystem destruction and biodiversity loss constitutes an urgent, underappreciated global crisis – one with profound moral, spiritual, ecological, economic, cultural, and public health consequences. In response, BAND supports targeted landscape and species-level initiatives that showcase effective solutions and approaches. We also backs a portfolio of initiatives aimed at galvanizing a stronger constituency for nature.  

Strategic Priorities

Conserve High-Value Natural Landscapes

Invest in selected geographies where the foundation is best positioned to achieve impact at landscape scale.

Protect Threatened and Overlooked Biodiversity

Fund initiatives to conserve species often left behind in mainstream conservation efforts.

Galvanize a Strong Constituency for Nature

Build greater public support, understanding and engagement and increase funding and policy momentum in favor of actions to conserve nature.
